ns believe that midwife-led births are outdated
             and unqualified approaches to labor and delivery. Midwives, however, think otherwise. They
             believe that a natural approach should be taken during childbirth in women experiencing a normal
             pregnancy and that birth should not be treated as an experience that requires hospitalization.
             Statistically, the practice of midwifery has been proven to be a safer method for women
             experiencing normal, low risk pregnancies (Gaylord). Therefore, Certified Nurse Midwives

             as birthing centers lack necessary equipment and personnel to deal with emergency situations
             Out hospital births such as maternity centers, are a safe and adequate place for low risk
             normal pregnancy women to give birth. What makes midwifery-led care safe in any institution is
             their constant attention and evaluation of a woman's progress in labor. Although maternity
             centers lack medically trained personnel, midwives are specifically trained to work in the field
             they are in and are the best at what they do. They are trained to perceive all fatal signs
             immediately and are instructed to convey the necessary action when and if a problem occurs
             (Smout 12). Maternity centers are usually made to be in close vicinity to its collaborated hospital
